Leadership

Change doesn’t happen without leadership and commitment. If you want your sport or sporting organisation to become more inclusive and welcoming, then it’s vital that you find leaders who are committed to making a positive culture change happen.

It’s important to remember that in addition to board and committee members, leaders can be anyone from your sport or community. They just need to be able to see possibilities and opportunities to open your sport up to more people.

Once you’ve found people who are passionate about making your sport more equitable, they may need some training and guidance to support their work to shift attitudes and practices to create more inclusive environments.

Successful organisations will identify, recruit, and promote opportunities for a diverse range of people to take on a leadership role across the sport.
